Embodiment Construction

[0040]Reference will now be made in detail to the embodiments of the present general inventive concept, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to the like elements throughout. The embodiments are described below in order to explain the present general inventive concept while referring to the figures.

[0041]FIG. 2 is a schematic block diagram illustrating an image processing apparatus 200 using a judder-map according to an embodiment of the present general inventive concept. Referring to FIG. 2, the image processing apparatus 200 includes a field storage block 210, a judder-map generating block 230, a film detecting block 250, and an image interpolating block 270.

[0042]The field storage block 210 receives an input interlaced video signal, in which an input image includes a plurality of consecutive fields. Hereinafter, a field to be interpolated currently is referred to as a “current field,” and fields before and after (fro...

Abstract

An image processing apparatus using a judder-map and a method thereof. The image processing apparatus using a judder-map includes: a field storage block to receive an input interlaced video signal including an input image having a plurality of consecutive fields, a film detecting block to receive the plurality of the consecutive fields from the field storage block and to detect whether the input image is an image in a film mode, a judder-map generating block to detect judder created on a pixel or block of neighboring fields among the plurality of consecutive fields provided from the field storage block to generate a judder-map, and an image interpolating block to perform image interpolation using the judder-map if the input video signal is detected to be an image in the film mode and to generate and output a progressive video signal. The image processing apparatus prevents the creation of judder on CGI (Computer Graphic Imagery) or subtitles, to which pulldown technologies are not applied.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims benefit under 35 U.S.C. § 119 from Korean Patent Application No. 2004-80324, filed Oct. 8, 2004, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present general inventive concept relates to an image processing apparatus and a method thereof, and more specifically, to an image processing apparatus using a judder-map to prevent judder on CGI (Computer Graphic Imagery) or subtitles where pulldown technologies are not applied, and a method thereof.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]Image display devices usually operate in interlace scan or progressive scan mode. Interlace scanning, which is used in traditional TV systems, refers to a method of dividing each image frame into two fields and reading out lines in an odd / even sequence. The two fields are called the top / bottom fields, upper / lower fields, or odd / even fiel...
